Oh, this is just sick. Exploiting children for propaganda purposes is bad enough. Now we find out that the Obama campaign has been trying to find a rape victim that they could use in one of their television ads. But surprise surprise, none have been willing to come forward.
Barack Obama’s campaign earlier this month sought to find a rape victim to appear in a campaign commercial, according to an e-mail obtained by Politico.
Kiersten Steward, director of public policy at the Family Violence Prevention Fund, served as a conduit between the campaign and victims and women’s advocates.
“Obviously, this is a big ask and I haven’t seen a script but presumably it will be a brief ‘this is what happened to me, we need someone who will fight for women like me, these are the guys to do it,’” Steward wrote in a Sept. 15 e-mail. ”Again, that’s just my assumption, given how these things
usually go.”Steward, a former top aide to Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), said the Obama campaign would have a crew in Washington and was hoping to film that week.
She didn’t respond to a message.
The Obama campaign wouldn’t detail the strategy behind finding an individual to discuss such a sensitive topic but did suggest the ad may be aimed at underscoring their candidate’s support for abortion rights and ongoing effort to retain those women who backed Hillary Clinton in the primary.
As I’ve said, there’s absolutely no level to which the Obama campaign will not sink in order to try to win this election.
LOL…..I wonder if they would use Crystal Magnum, the woman who accused the Duke Lacrosse team. I am sure she would be willing to do this for a price.
